Have you ever considered having bridal portraits taken before the wedding day? You may be wondering won’t I already be having bridal portraits taken by my photographer? Or why would I need more? Having your bridal portraits taken a month or two before the wedding day is an incredible way to test out how you’ll look on your wedding day.

Bridal Portrait Wedding Photos
Being able to share another moment with your loved ones before the wedding day is what makes bridal portraits so special. In addition you’re also able to wear your wedding dress again which is such an unforgettable moment for all engaged brides-to-be.
Words from the photographer Corey Johnson Studios
Lexy is a stunning bride and this session was just so precious. Lexy brought along her mom, best friend, and her cousin who is like a sister to her. It was raining all around on the way to the session and we just kept praying the rain would hold off. Well, IT DID, but on our last shot with mountain views, it began to rain.
We quickly ran to a shelter on the golf course and had a golf caddy come pick her up. The look on the caddie’s face when he saw Lexy was priceless. Lexy was very close with her Papa Ray, but he passed away a few years ago. He has a special place in her heart so she wanted to get a photo of her holding a photo of her and her Papa. Love sentimental things like this!

A bridal portrait is generally a southern tradition in which the bride will have wedding photography portraits taken in her complete wedding attire. During a brides session you will be able to apply your wedding dress, hair, makeup, jewelry, and all other accessories you will be wearing on the wedding day. If your mother and grandmother also had bridal portraits taken it’ll be amazing to showcase yours next to theres on the wedding day.
